Write the mantra down phonetically. In the beginning, I recommend writing the mantra down, especially if you are using Sanskrit mantras. This is another language so prompts are really helpful!

Chant when you have time and space to do it.When working with a new mantra or if you are starting new to mantra practice, give yourself the room to evolve.

FEEL the vibrations- mantras are divine vibrations and will affect various areas of your physical and subtle bodies. I like to keep a journal for my mantra practice and make notes about each one.

Notice how you feel, notice your chakras, notice areas of resistance.Do NOT chant if something feels uncomfortable or painful.

Explore the meanings and deities that are attuned to each mantra.Use deity images for visualization while chanting.

Chant out loud. Sing your mantra.Chant in a whisper. Repeat it in your mind. Find the way that this mantra wants to express through you. Sometimes, I just chant and sometimes I sing.

Don't forget to breathe!Breath is very important. If you are just starting, play the recording of the mantra and just practice your breathing so that when you begin chanting, it feels more natural.

Tea and honeyare wonderfully nourishing for some throat TLC.

Once you begin, do it every single day. Pick one mantra and make a commitment to recite it everyday for 40 days.

HAVE FUN!Take this at your own pace. Listen to several mantras before choosing one. Or simply begin with OM.
